Former President George W. Bush is calling former President Clinton his “brother from another mother.”
The ex-presidential pair has made no secret of their affection for one another.
On Wednesday, Clinton tweeted a photo of himself reading Bush’s new memoir about his dad, 41: A Portrait of My Father. The former commander in chief posted to his 2.5 million Twitter followers:
Received my copy of #41 by #43, George W. Bush. Touching tribute! #HowAreYouSTILLNotOnTwitter #PresidentialTweeters pic.twitter.com/ECWvElzG44

Hope you like the book about your pal, #41. #HowAreYouSTILLNotOnInstagram #PresidentialGrammers #BrotherFromAnotherMother"
Clinton recently said on the Ellen DeGeneres's daytime talk show that he and Bush have bonded over becoming first-time grandfathers. Jenna Bush Hager, gave birth to a daughter, Mila, in 2013. Chelsea Clinton's daughter, Charlotte, was born in September. Clinton said Bush gave him this advice: "The most important thing you have to remember when you become a grandfather is, you immediately fall to last place on the family hierarchy!"
In a Tuesday “Today” show interview with the Bush family, former President George H.W. Bush also praised Clinton, who defeated him in his 1992 reelection bid.
“Bubba, he’s a good man. I like him,” Bush said.
